Is anyone starting to shy away from using linkedin to do prospecting? We haven't had great success as people are starting to get burnt out on messages from recruiters and not take them seriously. Thoughts?

I’m actively perusing a new opportunity and am getting burned out on agency messages due to the shear volume and low quality. I respond and consider every message from an internal recruiter as these have been better targeted and well intentioned.
I’d say if you are working internally, Linkedin should yield good candidates. If you are working for an agency, I can tell you from the candidate’s perspective your field is extremely crowded and MS/LI isn’t doing much if anything to limit the number of agencies on the network.

I mainly use LinkedIn, I’ve seen other recruiters stuck with mostly email.

Nope… it’s never been better to be honest

I interviewed at Google and cleared all onsite interviews back in July. Then came the hiring freeze and my role was de-prioritized. Now I'm being called for another position which I applied through the same recruiter before for the same group but different role. My question is will Google reuse the positive feedback and will it help/add value to this new position?

Hi all, what is the technical stack required to clear an interview for java developer/backend engineer at 6 yoe. I'm not very good at frontend technologies, is it necessary? As mostly jobs i see are for full stack developer.

I wanted to get people's opinions on leetcode, codewars etc when prepping for interviews. I am a junior full stack dev looking to move to a better paying junior role or a mid role and honestly these style of questions have always stumped me. I have found that in a year of work to have never found them useful in tackling real world issues. Now I'm moving from a junior to a mid can I still expect leetcode style questions?

I work mainly with react, TS, node, graphql, mongoose and mongoDB.

Had a first round interview scheduled for a large CPG brand. My interviewer never called me, and I emailed following up to confirm the call. It’s been over a day and no response. What is going on with recruiters? I tried giving them the benefit of the doubt, but not even an email back saying “something came up” or “we’ve moved on” ? I’ve been ghosted after every final interview during my recent job search, but never had I been ghosted before even having the first call??
